Nathan Gamache – Coco before Chanel


Nathan Gamache

Coco before Chanel



Alexander before the Great,
Haters before the hate.

Warhol before the wig,
The Irish before the jig.

Vidal before Sassoon,
Playoff sweeps before the broom.

Catherine before the horse,
The pause before, “of course.”

Benedict before the treason,
Rhyme before the reason.
